My first artifact the assignment that I have chose is my U.S history essay about the Fab Five. This assignment was an essay that could be about anything that happened in the past and made a difference. I chose to write about the Fab Five because it changed the way of basketball and changed the way people look at the sport.
The reason why I choose this essay is because it is one of my best essays and I was very interested in what I had to write. Also it was my option to write about anything and I found the Fab Five to be the most interesting out of anything else. I’m proud of this work because I got a good grade on it and I actually worked really hard on this essay. Also this essay is cited in MLA format which means I have to show where I got my work from and this is one of very few essays of mine that I cited properly.
I chose this essay on The Michigan Fab Five because it demonstrates my ability to research and analyze. In this assignment I researched and analyzed because I had to find out what the Michigan Fab Five was about and show where I found the information about the Michigan Fab Five. I had an idea of what it’s about but didn't really know what how important it was in basketball. I had to research so much information about this topic because The Fab Five was more than I thought it was. Before researching more information about the Fab Five I thought it was just about the appeal of college basketball players, but it wasn't it had more to do with money.
The strengths of this essay were how detailed it was. When I was writing this essay I was making sure I didn't leave out any details about this topic. But the weaknesses that are shown in the essay were vocabulary. I could of used better words than I used in the essay and also some grammar errors. Vocabulary and the grammar would be the only thing I would improve on in the essay.
This assignment reflects on my growth in learning because this is one of my best works which demonstrates my ability to write with citations and quotes. Before in the past I've sited work but I didn't use as many sources in any other essay as I did on the essay about the Fab Five.
The connection I had with the essay was basketball. I have been playing basketball all my life and when I heard of this situation about the Fab Five being the first team to start 5 freshmen’s in the NCAA championship game and how they changed the appeal of basketball on ESPN 30 for 30. I found the film really interesting and it is probably one of my favorite stories in sports.
